I got one of those newfangled 400MHz BX systems and did a make
buildworld with yesterday's -current + CAM, an empty async-mounted
/usr/obj, and -DNOCLEAN. Csh's built-in "time" said:
2158.6u 729.9s 47:03:17 102.3%
i.e., more CPU time than elapsed time. Normally I'd say OK, I'm an
engineer, it's not that far off. :-) But when I ran "top" at several
random points during the build, it always reported the CPU as 30-60%
idle. Is this merely inaccuracy, or is it genuine brokenness? (Or
is there a difference between the two?)
